So what does this mean for the United States then? I found it on a right wing board where they were happy about being able to get more states to join and get to vote in another President and Congress.

3. It means bad losers....

Instead of enduring like the Democratic Party did for the last 8 years, they choose to take their toys and piss, moan and whine all the way home.

What kind of party would prefer to try to split up America instead of trying to keep it together through all the current and upcoming problems? Oh, most of the problems were the Republan party's fault.

BUZZER! Time's up!!!!!!!!!!

Alex, What is the Republan Party?


DINGDINGDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct!!!!!

4. Resolutions to write sternly worded letters to the Feds. CA passed one in 1994.

The right wingers all whooping it up because California passed such a resolution in 1994? CA's 1994 resolution: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/93-94/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sjr_44_bill_940829_chaptered Consequence of its passage? Nothing.

What do these resolutions actually do? They should be available online. The ones I've read at least, including CA's, do nothing except make statements. These state resolutions ("Resolutions" not "Acts") don't have force of law, don't change existing state law, don't impact Federal law or jurisdiction, aren't acts of secession. Might as well send a letter to the Times (London, NY or Moonie) for all the legal impact they have.

Why do state legislators introduce or pass such resolutions? Politics and pandering IMO. Politicians look like they're oh actually doing something of substantive import when they're really not. Theater.

(I notice that some of those winger sites cite "Hawaii's state sovereignty bill" as being the closest to an actual declaration of secession. There's proposed Fed legislation that would give native (as in indigenous) Hawaiians sovereignty similar to those of native Americans tribes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akaka_Bill & text of a previous version of the bill here: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Apr/10/op/op05p.html and an article on the recent reintroduction in Congress here: http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/515489.html It's not a State of Hawaii sovereignty bill. I kind of doubt the righties really want to support restoring the state of Hawaii to the natives, which this Fed bill would not do, but is the goal of some.)
